Title: Vertical axis wind turbine
Inventor: MEWBUM-CROOK ANTHONY JAMES
IPC: F03D3/02
Filed: 2009-03-25
Abstract: A wind turbine is provided that comprises an axis 3 intended for vertical mounting and plural aerofoils 2 arranged around the axis (3). Each aerofoil (2) is of substantially straight section lengthwise and arranged so that the aerofoil snakes a non-zero angle to a plane in which the axis 3 lies. The angle may be between 10 and 80 degrees or between 30 and 60 degrees. The aerofoils may be mounted on equal length arms 4, perpendicular to the axis, with one arm leading the other when the turbine rotates, and the aerofoil can rotate chord-wise about an axis along its length about its aerodynamic centre. The turbine can be mounted inside an augmenter cage (figs 2-5, 8) that augments the flow of air. The cage can be mounted directly above a supporting surface, by a supporting structure allowing free flow of air, comprising pillars (fig 3, 12). The supporting structure can be a building (fig 2), the surface of which can be shaped to augment the flow of air; or a tower (fig 4) comprising a ring beam (fig 4, 16) and concrete legs (fig 4, 18). The augmenter cage and support structure can be stacked one above another (fig 5). Swept, inclined rotor blades allow smooth running without pulsating torque and reduce aerodynamic noise.

Title: Adhesive plaster with UV reflective patch
Inventor: PAGE REECE CHANNING
IPC: A61F13/02
Filed: 2009-04-15
Abstract: A mole patch that can help prevent types of skin cancer caused by UV rays. The plaster is placed over moles when using sunbeds and/or sun bathing, and has a reflective element in the centre to reflect UV rays, whilst the outside of the product consists of a thin, adhesive transparent material that allows the product to stick to the skin but doesn't block the UV rays, this helps prevent noticeable tan lines around the mole. On the opposite side of the reflector (also in the centre) there is a nylon pad which supports and cushions the mole to protect it from irritation and damage.

In other embodiments a frequency divider may be included between the comparator 104 and the leading edge detector in the high frequency and/or low frequency portion of the circuitry. In further embodiments the first counter counts clock pulses over a plurality of cycles of the frequency and additional counters and discriminators perform counts over single cycles to discard the initial cycles of the frequency distorted due to chattering of the relays in the system and delays in the filter output reaching a steady state.

Title: Briquetting presses
IPC: B30B11/02
Filed: 1974-03-06
Abstract: 1422757 Briquetting press LINDEMANN MASCHINENFABRIK GmbH 6 March 1974 [17 March 1973] 10091/74 Heading B3H A briquetting press with a mould 12 in which metal scrap or swarf is compacted against an end plate 21 by a ram 4 has a limit switch whose abutment and operating members 19, 20 are mounted on the ram 4 and on a container 11 integral with the mould and which is movable axially of the ram. The scrap or swarf is fed into the container 11 and pushed into the mould 12 by the ram. The mould is held initially in abutment with the end plate 21 and the ram is advanced. After compaction the container is retracted by hydraulic cylinders 18 until the limit switch members contact. Thus the distance moved by the container is inversely proportional to the distance advanced by the ram 4. The retraction distance of the container is arranged to be equal to the length of the compacted briquette (h), Fig. 3 (not shown), plus a small safety margin (a). The briquette can thus fall out of the press by retraction of the ram. The press is hydraulically operated by cylinders 5, 6, Fig. 1 (not shown), of which the former is used to advance the ram 4 and the latter to apply the compaction pressure. A pressure switch 27 operates a solenoid control valve 22 when a specific compaction pressure is reached.

Individual load resistances 25, 27 may be tapped at 41, 42, Fig. 2, and the resistance between the taps may be used as the compensating resistance. In another arrangement, Fig. 3 (not shown), a compensating resistance may be introduced into the connection between the rectifiers 19, 22.

Polymerization may be carried out in solution but is preferably effected in an aqueous medium containing a dispersing agent such as sodium lauryl sulphate, fatty acid soaps, ethylene oxide condensates with long-chain fatty acids, alcohols and mercaptans, alkali metal salts of vinyl acetatemaleic anhydride copolymers and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.  Suitable polymerization catalysts are azo-bis-isobutyronitrile, benzoyl and lauroyl peroxides, cumene hydroperoxide, potassium persulphate and tert.-butyl permaleic acid; in examples, tert.-butyl permaleic acid is used in conjunction with sulphur dioxide.  During polymerization further quantities of monomer, catalyst and emulsifier may be added as the reaction proceeds.  Latices of the interpolymers may be used in the production of films.
